"To All Who Come To This Happy Place, Welcome..."

[Lottie]

Hi All!
Welcome to the new DisNerds Forums! I am SO excited to have this great place to share and make new friends. I would like to say one thing (I don't think I NEED to say it with this group but I am going to anyway): PLEASE keep it positive! I don't mean you can't vent- we all need to at some point but PLEASE never make another member feel stupid for their opinion, questions or feel un-welcome. Unfortunately I have seen it happen on other forums and I want this to be a wonderful, friendly place. As admin I will ban anyone who repeatedly violates this policy.

Sorry to start off with that but it's for everyone's good...

Now, on to the intro!

My name is Lottie. I live in SC and am married to a wonderful man named Mike. We try to get to WDW about once a year (sometimes it's a few months longer than that because we haven't found "our annual trip" time of year yet.. we bounce around!). I have been going to Disney since I was 4 years old and have loved every minute of it.

In 2005 my then-boyfriend Mike accompanied my mom and I on a family WDW vacation (his first trip!) and proposed in Cinderella's Castle! 4 1/2 years later, we walked down the aisle in Disney's Wedding Pavilion as brand new husband and wife!

Now we are looking foward to raising the next generation of DisNerd as we are hoping to be blessed sometime soon with our first child.... Prayers and Pixie Dust accepted

Hello everyone!
My name is Katie Wilson and I live in Otsego, MN. I have been married to my husband for 6 years (this August 2012) and have two boys, Jonathon-15 and Jacob 11. My family and I have only been going to Disney since 2006, when we took our first trip. We never thought we would be able to afford it and I am dearly afraid to fly. We loved it so much that May, that we found a way to go again 3 months later in August. We have gone to Disney World 6 times, Disneyland last year, D23 expo last year and two Disney cruises-Bahamas and Alaska. It is amazing to think of everywhere we have been that is Disney and everywhere we have gone too that hasn't been Disney.

I love Disney because of the way it makes you feel. Everyone is made to feel welcome, the cast members make each visit unique and you can't but have a smile on your face when you enter thru those gates. We also collect Disney artwork, vinylmations, pins and Big Figs. Everywhere you look in our house there is something Disney. I also love to have handmade items with Disney made and am trying to expand my clothes to include at least 30 different Disney items...I think I'm at around 15 or so now.

I recently graduated from the Disney College of Knowledge and am working as a travel planner at It's All About the Mouse Travel agency. I talked with a few agencies and let me tell you that Judi, the owner is awesome!!! I am so honored that I am working on her team! I also work part time as an Accounting Manager at the Autism Society of Minnesota. This is interesting for me because I have a BS in accounting, but also both of my children are diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum.

If anyone has any questions, regarding anything Disney or anything, please feel free to ask. I also want to say that the DisNerds group has an amazing group of members and a top notch Admin!! You have welcomed me with open arms and have helped me expand my Disney knowledge. I am hoping that I get to meet each and everyone of you sometime in the near future.

Hi,
I'm so excited to be a part of this forum from the beginning. My daughter, Katie Louise and I live in Northeast PA. We try to get to the world at least once a year. Since we are only two hours from NYC we get to see all the Disney on Broadway Shows (Newsies is a definite must see!!!)

Hi Everyone!

I'm Katie Louise. I'm suefid's fiery, red-head (with the help of hair dye ) daughter. Like she said, we live in Northeast PA and go see Broadway Musicals a lot (Newsies is a favorite of mine and I also loved Beauty and the Beast and Tarzan). I'm a Musical Theater actress (haven't done anything professionally yet but I'm working on that) and I LOVE Disney totally and completely. I'm so happy to be a DisNerd and I'm looking forward to our next visit for my 21st birthday in early October.
